Bart and Seth
We're looking to adopt a baby
Hello! We are Bart and Seth. We met while helping a group of kids make a puppet show in the fall of 2012. Soon after, a very unexpected relationship became a sweet reality. On our first date, we both mentioned our individual desires to have a child. We were married in 2018.
We have many core things in common but also have very different personalities that complement each other well. We want to grow our family through open adoption, which has always been our first choice. We want the child to know their heritage, background, and adoption story. We want the child to view their adoption as something that makes them special.
As we created our lives together, there was a mutual understanding that we wanted to be parents. Both of us have chosen professional paths to work with and care for children. We are drawn to kids wherever we go, and kids seem drawn to us, too. We have a sweet home, family, friends, and a community ready to welcome and love a new kiddo!
We would welcome you into our lives and are open to whatever relationship is healthy and comfortable for you, the child, and ourselves. We would love to get to know you and answer any additional questions you have for us.
